LAUDERHILL - — A man was shot Thursday night after an argument over a soccer game at Royal Palm Elementary School, police said.

Detectives said Niel Pulchan, 24, of Plantation, was playing soccer at the field at the back of the school, in the 1900 block of Northwest 58th Terrace, when he and an unidentified man argued over the game.

The man left, but soon returned with a handgun and fired three shots into Pulchan's legs before driving off, said Lauderhill Police Executive Officer Ed Fields.

The victim was reported in stable condition at Broward General Medical Center in Fort Lauderdale on Friday.

Police say the gunman was described as black and in his early 20s, standing about 5 feet 7 inches tall and weighing 150 pounds. He was last seen driving a gray or silver Acura Legend.

Anyone with information on this case is asked to call investigator Dave Morris at 497-4729.
